<p>Pulse-Eight's Motorola NYXboard Hybrid Wireless Keyboard and IR Remote is a double sided device, with a minimalist keyboard on one side and a more traditional TV&nbsp;remote control on the other.&nbsp; It is perfect for those with an HTPC&nbsp;or set top box which allows web browsing and other features that a standard remote just can't fully control.&nbsp; An internal switch ensures that only the buttons on the side of the device which are currently on the top are active to make usage a lot more convenient.&nbsp; At 144 x 48 x 21mm (5.7&quot; x 1.9&quot; x 0.8&quot;) it is too small to have a full standard keyboard but thanks to numerous key chords you get a lot of functionality out of this tiny device.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.missingremote.com/review/pulse-eight-motorola-nyxboard-hybrid-wireless-keyboard-and-ir-remote">Check with Missing Remote to see if this is the remote missing from your life</a>.</p>

<blockquote><p>&quot;Not long ago it was easy to lean primarily on a traditional remote control &ndash; universal, of course -- relegating the keyboard and mouse to the audio &amp; video (A/V) cabinet, closet, or other locale of last resort &ndash;dragging it out just for occasional maintenance or troubleshooting. However, as over-the-top (OTT) content providers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and YouTube have become more pervasive, the traditional remote can no longer provide enough functionality as we transition to a search, browse and consume environment.&quot;</p>
